Course Philosophy: CHEM 2220 will emphasize the models/strategies chemists use to rationalize the principles of organic reactivity. Examples are given to illustrate these principles, not necessarily because the example itself is intrinsically important. Successful studying will combine learning the principles with practice applying them to solve problems. The course’s goal is twofold: First, to provide a sound basis of both fact and principle in organic chemistry; and Second, to teach logical analysis and problem solving. For most of you, the second goal may be most important. All career paths require logical thinking, and you can learn it in any subject if you approach the subject rigorously. This alone is worth the effort that we demand of students, and you will be repaid handsomely for your efforts in years to come. Lectures will not cover everything in the curriculum but will focus on the central ideas of each topic. Students should expect questions on anything in the assigned textbook readings in tests and exams.

Practice Problems: • •

You will only succeed in this course if you do practice problems diligently. This is the best “studying” you can do! Work through all the SkillBuilder and Conceptual Checkpoint exercises in the assigned sections of Klein’s Organic Chemistry.

Getting Help: Supplementary Instruction: Weekly group tutorials run by students who have previously done well in CHEM 2220. Details are available on UMLearn and at: http://umanitoba.ca/student/academiclearning/services/supplemental_instruction.html. Dr. Schweizer’s Office Hours (online): Mondays 4:00 – 5:00 pm.

Mid-Term Exam: The mid-term test is scheduled for Thursday, March 04 at 6:00-8:00 p.m. This exam will be delivered remotely via crowdmark. The midterm will be based on lecture and textbook material plus a general understanding of organic chemistry including material originally presented in CHEM 2210. If you have a legitimate conflict with the scheduled test time, consult instructor in advance to see what arrangements can be made. There will be no deferrals or re-writes. If you can’t write the midterm because of medical reasons the final exam will be worth 65%. Final Examination: All students must write the final examination. This exam will be delivered remotely via crowdmark. The date for the final exam for CHEM 2220 is scheduled by the registrars’ office and will take place between April 19 – May 01. Failure to write the final regularly scheduled examination without a valid medical certificate or compassionate reason will result in a mark of zero on the final examination (and a grade of F on the course). Final Grade: Marks between 50% and 100% will be graded from D to A+. In order to obtain a passing grade in the course, you must earn a minimum 60% grade on the laboratory work. Below is the formula used for calculating letter grades in CHEM 2220:

Review of Final Exam Script: The Faculty of Science has established a policy to permit students the opportunity to review their final exam script prior to the end of the Grade Appeal period. You must apply to view your exam during the predetermined viewing period. The Application Form can be obtained from the following link: https://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/J4j18ef01XkT9quo

CHEM 2220 Laboratory Laboratories: Laboratory attendance is compulsory. Students in sections B01-B05 will be divided into two rotations. Each rotation will attend the three in-person laboratory sessions. The first rotation will start the week of January 25, 2021. Please check UM Learn for rotation and locker assignment. All students registered in the laboratory must buy a CHEM 2220 laboratory manual (2021 Edition). Students need to score at least a 60% in the lab marks (15/25) to be eligible to pass the course. Laboratory Safety: Lab coats and safety glasses or goggles must be worn at all times in the laboratory. Prescription glasses do not provide sufficient protection from chemical splashes; therefore, safety glasses or goggles must be worn over top of prescription glasses. Fully covered shoes and pants must be worn in the laboratory. COVID-Preventative Measures: Students must wear a disposable three-ply mask while on campus and attending the in-person labs. Students are reminded to maintain physical distancing and to practice hand hygiene while in the lab setting. Students who feel ill must not come to the laboratory. Please contact Dr. Luong within 48 hours of missing the in-person session. Students must complete all three inperson lab experiences to be eligible to pass the course.

Marking: A pre-lab iClicker quiz will be administered at the start of every laboratory period. Please ensure you have a registered iClicker remote or the app downloaded and registered on your devices when you come to the laboratory. Lab reports for all B01-B05 students will be due during the common times for all students, regardless of which section they are registered in: Report 1 – February 11, 8:30 am CST Report 2 – March 11, 8:30 am CST Report 3 – April 1, 8:30 am CST Lab report mark breakdowns are described in the lab manual. The late penalty is 1 mark/half hour, up to 5% per day and up to 50% for one week late (after which a grade of 0 will be applied). Lab reports are submitted online to UMLearn assignment folder. It is the student’s responsibility to submit reports to the correct dropbox. Grades for the reports are returned within 2 weeks at the latest.

Exemptions: Laboratory exemptions will only be given if the lab has been successfully completed (i.e., receiving a minimum of 70% in the lab) between fall 2018-winter 2020. Student re-taking CHEM 2220 may apply for a laboratory exemption by completing the laboratory exemption form on the Department of Chemistry homepage. Students should also note that a lab exemption may be used only once by a student on repeating the CHEM 2220 course. Please note that the previously obtained lab mark will be used in the computation of your final mark in this course. Students who obtain a lab exemption based on study at an institution other than the University of Manitoba or for special case consideration will not have their lab mark used in the computation of their final mark. Expectations: Professional Conduct: We recognize that these are unusual circumstances, and some adjustments need to be made when working virtually. At the same time, we do want to remind you that University policies, such as the Respectful Work and Learning Environment policy, still apply, as do basic expectations around how students will engage with each other and all members of the University. This means that when participating in classes, online meetings, etc., students are expected to behave professionally, and follow the same basic norms as they would in person, such as being properly clothed, not being impaired, and participating respectfully. Essentially, if you wouldn’t do it in an in-person class, don’t do it in a virtual setting. Please familiarize yourself with the UM Respectful Work and Learning Environment (RWLE) Section 2.5(c) of the Student Non-Academic Misconduct and Concerning Behaviour Procedure describes types of inappropriate or disruptive behaviour.

Academic Integrity: Plagiarism: Copying another student's examination, laboratory reports, or assignments, or an instructor's answer sheet from a previous year is plagiarism. Students quoting other sources of information in a laboratory report or other assignment must give proper credit. Plagiarism and other forms of cheating are prohibited. The full definition of plagiarism and the possible penalties associated with it are outlined in the General Calendar of the University. Cheating: The possession of unauthorized materials during an examination, including "crib notes" (whether hand- written or contained within a computer/calculator) or accessing online tutoring websites, is considered cheating and subject to action by the Student Disciplinary By Law. Calculators and text aids (books, notes, etc.) are NOT permitted in any term tests or examination. Students found with electronic devices or other unauthorized material during a chemistry examination will be given a grade of zero (0) on that examination and further penalties may apply. Academic integrity is taking responsibility for and being honest with your work and respecting the work of others. Since you are a member of the university community, we want you to learn what that responsibility and honesty entails and how we respect the work of others. The Faculty of Science continues to uphold high standards of academic integrity. We know that you, our students, support us in this and we count on each and every one of you to do your part. We will continue to ensure no one is using Covid-19 circumstances as a means to gain an unfair advantage over their fellow students. Thus, as with standard in-person examinations, we expect all students to strictly adhere to instructions from their professors regarding what resources can and cannot be used during the exams, to follow other rules the professors wish to set, and to adhere to the academic conduct standards of the University and Faculty. To aid professors in assuring that all forms of assessments have been administered fairly, the University will be electronically monitoring all tests, quizzes and examinations, included, but not limited to overseeing chat-rooms, relevant predatory web-sites and, in so doing, we will analyze scholastic evidence of individual exams. Please view information with regards to academic integrity: be aware; be proactive; be smart and be honest.
